Generously coat your crêpes with melted chocolate for a gourmet, comforting crêpe. For a creamy homemade chocolate, melt some pastry chocolate with a little butter in a bain-marie.

3. Crêpes with lemon curd

Add a touch of freshness to your crêpes by topping them with lemon curd. To prepare this cream, simply squeeze a lemon, add 50g of sugar and heat the mixture in a saucepan over a low heat while stirring.
